Amazing Competition

For the last 31 years, Lions Clubs around the world have sponsored this contest in local schools and youth groups, to encourage young people to express their visions of peace.

The theme for the 2018-2019 contest is “Kindness Matters” Students aged 11, 12 or 13 as at 15th November are eligible to participate.

One International grand prize winner will receive US$5,000 and a trip to a special award ceremony. 23 merit award winners will receive a cash award of US$500.

If your school has students who are interested in participating, I would be happy to visit and explain the contest more fully. This will be judged by 1st November.

Contest rules and conditions -

* Artwork must be no smaller than 33cm x 50cm, and no larger than 50cm x 60cm. Do not mat or frame artwork

* All artwork must be the individual student’s original creation. Duplications are not accepted.

* All media are accepted – note: chalk, charcoal and pastel entries should be sealed with a fixative spray to prevent smearing, but do NOT laminate entries.

* The use of lettering or numbering on the front of the poster, in any language, is not allowed. All artists signatures or initials should be written on the back of the poster.

It’s that time of year again... the Teece Museum and UC Classoc, with the support of Potteryworld, are pleased to present… Attic Art in the Attic! (the famous Greek pot painting art night).

Join us for Attic Art in the Attic, be inspired by the amazing ceramics on display in the Teece Museum, and put your creative talents to the test. You don’t have to be the next Andy Warhol (or Berlin Painter for that matter) to take part – just come ready to give it a go, and get to take home your very own potted Greek masterpiece.

Re:ACTIVATE - Calling Young Artists
Have your public artwork idea made a reality!

Invitation to Aspiring Artists to Present Public Art in Hagley Park

This year SCAPE Public Art, supported by Lewis Bradford Consulting Engineers and Dominion Constructors, invite aspiring artists and designers (18 years of age and under) to have their artwork produced for public space.

SCAPE Public Art are offering an open call for young artists (junior and senior students) to respond to a brief and provide design proposals to create unique public artworks within Hagley Park. Re:ACTIVATE Aspiring Artists Exhibition is open to all for entry now until 1 June 2018.

Submitted designs will be shortlisted and one design in each category will be produced for SCAPE’s six-week Season from 6 October to 17 November 2018. Up to 20 artists submitted design proposals will be exhibited.

2017 saw the first open call for young people to submit designs for their work to be produced by SCAPE for the 2017 Re:ACTIVATE Kids and Teen exhibition. The standard of designs was impressive with young people from a range of schools, and independently submitting their work for consideration. The winner of the Kids section was Charlotte Bobichon with her piece Having a whale of a time! and Ruby Williams as the Teen winner with Imprint. Both 2017 winners embraced the opportunity, and thrived under the guidance of the highly knowledgeable technical teams of sponsors, to produce their work which was located in Hagley Park.

As seen on Stuff.

Full details and opportunity briefing detailed here.

The ATOM Photo Comp 2017 is sponsored by Ted’s Cameras and SAE.

This year’s theme is ‘My Backyard’.

Photography allows us to create our own unique interpretations of the world around us. The same place can have a different ‘feel’ in different situations. As a medium, photography offers many ways to explore a variety of perspectives on a location.
